Growing up
Variety Ogorodnik grown universal for all tomatoes determinant type method.
A tomato needs shrub formation, pinching and tying up. It should be noted that tomatoes grown in the open air are inferior to greenhouses in yield, but the taste of fruits grown in the sun is much better.
To increase the yield in greenhouses you can arrange the tanks with liquid manure. The fact is that nitrogen from the air is well absorbed by the leaves and stem. This measure will replace foliar nutrition.
Diseases and pests
Immunity Ogorodnika very good. He is not afraid of late blight, fusarium, stolbur and tobacco mosaic virus.
Tomatoes were brought to our region from distant America. Most of the pests of tomato lives in their homeland.
Only the Colorado potato beetle got to us. But with pleasure he eats only young plants. After planting in open ground, treat the seedlings with any insecticide.
If the Ogorodnik tomato has not yet been “registered” on your plot - eliminate this defect and sow it before the seedling growing season has passed!
